Marie Hvid Pørksen is a Danish painter who makes simplified abstracted views of domestic and industrial interiors and exteriors. She portrays the trappings of human existence in a almost naïve, completely charming way. Her lines and brushwork have and awkward beauty to them while her color choices and compositions are sophisticated and challenging. I love seeing these bleak, somewhat mundane subjects in this brand of flattened childlike honesty; its such a unique and surprising perspective on life and our surroundings.
